SPRING 2019 - The spring skiing at Cypress is terrific
as I write this. One pauses, captured by the lights of
West Vancouver, the ocean, the downtown Vancouver
towers and lights of homes and commerce and busy
streets radiating across the Lower Mainland. It is an
inspiring sight and evidence that we do indeed live in
one of the blessed corners of the world.
It is also all the confirmation needed to understand
that the current low cycle in our dynamic housing
market is transitional. The economic and demographic
fundamentals that founded Metro Vancouver remain
solid and, as always, real estate remains a cornerstone of
financial and personal success.
The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV)
reports that sales of detached, attached and apartment
properties reached 24,619 on the Multiple Listing
Service in 2018, a 31.6 per cent decrease from 2017 and
a 38.4 per cent decrease compared to the total residential
sales in 2016. This means, however, that more than 2,000
homes were selling every month, including in the fourth
quarter of 2018, at a benchmark price of more than $1
million. I suggest that any world city would be proud to
post such numbers.

In Metro Vancouver there is a generous selection of
homes available, with at least 5,000 active listings, and
with improved prices.
“Home prices have edged down across all home types in the
region over the last seven months,” confirmed Phil Moore,
REBGV president. In West Vancouver, for instance,
there are at least 160 detached houses on the market. West
Vancouver detached house prices experienced the biggest
price reduction in the Metro Vancouver region in 2018,
down 11.8 per cent from a year earlier. This represents an
opportunity for buyers and we have seen stirrings of the
expected response, most notably at recent higher traffic at
open houses.
For those who have long aspired to own a home in Metro
Vancouver’s most prestigious communities this is an ideal
time to be working with an experienced, professional real
estate team to achieve that dream.

VIVIDLY BRILLIANT
Created in 18K gold with genuine emeralds and diamonds
at Lugaro in-house West Vancouver studio.

“Listen to the land
and it will tell you
what it wants to be”
– PAU L M E R R I C K , A RC H I T EC T

Looking out to the dramatic beauty of Howe
Sound – the steep, snow-capped mountains
rising abruptly from a sheltered sea – Dan Sewell
is celebrating his decision to stay in Horseshoe
Bay, to rebuild the marina his grandfather
opened in 1931 and to revitalize a community he
has loved all his life.
Working with an architect who inspired
him (Paul Merrick), and a developer he’s come
to admire (Westbank), Sewell says he’ll be
proud to share his spectacular property with
a new generation of fortunate Horseshoe Bay
residents.
Things might have been different. Ten
years ago, the Sewell family was fielding offers
of “crazy money” from offshore buyers, eager
to snap up a marina business that was soon
needing rehabilitation. But Sewell’s children,
Megan and Eric, love the Marina and the Bay.
So, the family began an envisioning process,
moving almost 2.5 acres of blacktop parking
underground with spectacular Paul Merrick
designed homes above, extensive landscaping
and public walkways with improved access to
the water and marina.
The solution is exquisite. Architect
Merrick, a West Vancouver resident and

one of the innovators in the West Coast
Modernist style, was inspired by the challenge.
In Horseshoe Bay, he envisioned an echo of
Portofino, the famous Italian village boasting an
enchanting ring of pastel-hued houses clustered
around a tiny piazzetta and harbour.
As described by Greg Borowski, a principal
at Merrick Architecture, the new development
is like a village unto itself, with six unique,
low-profile buildings – right on the waterfront,
but nestled into the mountainside. Featuring allconcrete construction – for safety, security, and
quiet living – the buildings are topped by heavy
timber roofs that express the West Coast style,
while blending with the neighbourhood.
The new village also connects seamlessly
into the Horseshoe Bay community. Borowski
says: “One of the first things that Dan Sewell said
to us was that Horseshoe Bay was going to have
‘to change to stay the same.’” Sewell said that the
only way to protect the things that people love
about the Bay was to ensure both an uplifting
re-investment and an influx of new residents to
reinvigorate the commercial area.
Working with the local community and
the District of West Vancouver, Merrick and
Westbank came up with a plan that opened-

up and enhanced the part of Horseshoe Bay
that everyone loves best: the waterfront.
That included a cash contribution from the
project team of more than $10-million towards
community amenities and improvements,
including a new waterfront walkway extending
for the first time from the ferry terminal past
the marina and all the way to Madrona Island.
Knowing how much community members and
visitors enjoy events like the annual Dinner
on the Dock, this expands that access to an
unprecedented degree.
Sewell says that in addition to the $10-million
amenity contribution, the project has also
enabled him to replace the marina’s fuel
tanks and lines with state-of-the-art and
environmentally secure alternatives and
to upgrade water, sewer and electricity
connections, to the benefit of the whole
neighbourhood.
All in all, Sewell says, “it’s allowing us to
save the best of the Bay,” and to bring in muchneeded new investment, as well as adding critical
new population to keep new and old businesses
strong and sustainable.

Horseshoe Bay Boardwalk & Marina

Resort-like amenities – plus access
to the best in West Coast recreation
Horseshoe Bay’s iconic arched boathouse is
both a waterfront clubhouse and home to a
historically inspired Chris-Craft power boat
that is available to the new strata residents –
complete with a skipper, gas and insurance.
Befitting a year-round waterfront resort,
residents also have access to paddleboards and
kayaks, not to mention a fully-equipped
fitness facility.
Horseshoe Bay is also minutes from sailing,
fishing, diving, and from hiking and skiing.
There are two golf courses within 20 minutes
(Gleneagles and Furry Creek), and the Seato-Sky Gondola and the climbing mecca of
Squamish are not much further. And of course,
the summer and winter attractions of Whistler
are just an hour away. Where in the world can
you be fishing at first light, golfing Gleneagles in
the afternoon and skiing Cypress Park or Grouse
Mountain under lights that evening?

HORSESHOE BAY
TR ANSFORMATION TO
CULMINATE WITH PARK RENE WAL
A complete renewal of the popular Horseshoe
Bay Park will give unprecedented access to the
Howe Sound foreshore, with a seawalk that will
stretch from the BC Ferry Terminal past the
beautiful new Sewell’s Marina and residential
development and all the way to Madrona Island.
Thanks to the project team’s $10-million
amenity and community contribution, the
Horseshoe Bay Park will get a facelift and
expansion in virtually every aspect. There will
be more green space, more seating of all kinds,
playground improvements, upgraded washroom
facilities, lookout points, a new plaza and new
space for concerts, celebrations and festivals –
greatly expanding the potential of community
events like the annual Dinner on the Dock.
The changes will enhance views and access to
the water and bolster foreshore environmental
protection while maintaining access to the
“working waterfront.”
These improvements will also unfold even
as BC Ferries is embarking on a rehabilitation of
the Horseshoe Bay Terminal – staying within its
existing footprint, but upgrading the terminal
technically and aesthetically, and improving the
connections and integration with the
community itself.

Island and the Sunshine Coast. You can drive
to Squamish and Whistler, or walk over and
catch a ferry to the Sunshine Coast, Vancouver
Island or for an afternoon adventure on Bowen
Island. Even if you never leave the Bay, this is
Metro Vancouver’s most beautiful
waterfront resort.
There’s also great value – with leading edge
design and concrete construction, top end
appliances, underground parking, waterfront
views, and first class amenities, this is
outstanding value in an outstanding location.

Q

Why do you call it “a luxury
urban resort”?

Because it is! Even while being incredibly
convenient to the city, Horseshoe Bay is a
waterfront haven – an unparalleled oceanside
resort. It’s also perfectly appointed: people
love the range of amenities, from the fitness
facilities and watersport equipment to the
24-hour concierge. This isn’t a downtownstyle condo. There are 158 luxury homes
– each with grand front doors and 10-foot
ceilings. Because of the unique design, units
also have spectacular views of Howe Sound
in one direction and they also open onto the
mountainside behind. You get maximum light
and the fresh cross-breeze of both ocean
and forest. It’s the kind of place other people
would love to go for a holiday.
Our buyers also say they appreciate
the project’s environmental consciousness.
Westbank’s usual LEED Gold construction
standard also features a seawater-based geoexchange system providing hot water, heat in
the winter and air conditioning in the summer
– all while reducing greenhouse gas emissions
by 70 per cent.

Q

How are sales?

Buyers have already snapped up more than
two-thirds of the units and we’ve broken all
West Van records for absorption of a condo
project. We’ve recently sold the penthouse
and sub-penthouse homes at Horseshoe Bay
and we still have a great selection of homes,
priced from $1.4 million.
Horseshoe Bay is the jewel of West Van,
which is already the most valuable real estate
market in Metro Vancouver. The Real Estate
Board (of Greater Vancouver) reported the
benchmark home price in West Vancouver
in November 2018 at almost $2.4 million,
compared to $1.3 million on Vancouver’s West
Side. That’s up 100-per-cent in 10 years. And
condos are the strongest performers. While
detached housing prices declined, condo
prices went up 4.6 per cent in the 12 months
from November 2017.

Westbank – Beauty, Artistry and Sustainability
Established in 1992, Westbank is a practice dedicated to the creation of beauty, in all forms
and in the broadest definition. Known in Vancouver for icons such as the Shangri-la and Pacific
Rim Hotels, Telus Garden and Vancouver House, Westbank has a particular orientation toward
transformative projects such as Woodwards, Mirvish Village, KING Toronto and Oakridge –
catalysts for change both in their cities and on a global scale. Horseshoe Bay, while unusual in that
list, reflects a similar aspiration: we are committed to building something that is beautiful in its own
right, and that also makes a transformative contribution to its community.
